Scott Parker’s side paid the price for a wretched first-half, where they could have no complaints with being 2-0 down at the interval.

5. Bashir Humphries - 5/10
Looked a little off the pace early on, but did improve. Finished the game in central midfield, which was peculiar. Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard
6. Lucas Pires - 6/10
Set up a good chance for Zian Flemming with a pullback from the left. Played on the wing at one point as Burnley shifted their systems. Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard
7. Lesley Ugochukwu - 4/10
Barely worked up a sweat during the first-half on his return from suspension and picked up another booking. Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard
8. Hannibal - 7/10
The only one during the first-half to show some intensity and a willingness to drive forward. At least looked interested. Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard
